tasked due to other programs running at the same time. In addition, your computer may not be powerful enough to
mix the audio. Always shut down as many unnecessary programs as possible. It may even be advantageous to
temporarily shut down your virus software. (We do not recommend doing this unless you have done a full scan
and are not connected to the Internet.)
Pianissimo has to work harder as it mixes more notes.
Try increasing the buffer size or the number of buffers in the Sound Device Preferences if your are in Wave mode.
If you are in ASIO mode, try a different ASIO driver or go into the ASIO driver's mixer and increase the latency. If
you are in WaveRT mode, try increasing the latency time.

Sound Is Delayed Or Lagging (Latency)
The opposite problem of sound breaking up or gapping is that the sound will be delayed and have a latency from
the time a note is played to the time you hear it. The solution to latency depends on the type of audio drivers you
are using.
Reducing Latency Using Wave drivers
Go to the Preferences, click "Sound Device" followed by clicking "Wave". Reduce the number of buffers and/or
buffer size. Try different settings to try and find the right balance between performance and smooth non-gapping
audio. The latency will be shown in milliseconds.
Reducing Latency Using ASIO
Go to the Preferences, click "Sound Device" followed by clicking "ASIO". Click the Open Mixer... button. Use your
SIO driver control to configure the latency. Usually, you will have some way to set the latency in terms of
milliseconds. If possible, choose 10 milliseconds. 40-80 milliseconds is also tolerable.
Reducing Latency Using WaveRT
Go to the Preferences, click "Sound Device" followed by clicking "WaveRT". and select a lower latency time.
(WaveRT is only available on Vista or higher.)

Sympathetic Resonance Is Not Working
Sympathetic resonance is a subtle phenomenon that occurs in real pianos when the sustain pedal is pressed.
Normally, when a piano key is not being played, a felt damper presses against that key's strings, keeping them
from vibrating. However, when the sustain pedal is pressed down, those felt dampers are removed, and all of the
strings of the piano are left to freely vibrate. When keys are pressed and notes are played, other nearby strings,
because they are no longer dampened, start to vibrate in sympathy with the strings that have been played. This
causes a slightly fuller piano sound to emerge, as more strings are vibrating (or resonating) around the ones that
were actually played. When the sustain pedal is released, this Sympathetic Resonance sound is immediately
muted.
Sympathetic resonance is a very subtle effect, and it's only audible under certain circumstances. Sympaethic
resonance adds a subtle shimmer to the sound of notes when the sustain pedal is held down. If you press several
keys, then press the sustain pedal, you may hear the subtle shimmer of sympathetic resonance fade into the
sound. When you release the pedal, it will fade away.
